and D~isagreeable People

The chief difference between agree
able and disagreeable people, in this
world, between those whom every
body loves and those who are loved
by no body, is in the place given by
them respectively to self, in their
thoughts, in their words or in their
actions. Those persons who give the
first place to themselves, in their in
tercourse with others, can not well
be pleasing to others. And those
persons who, lovingly, give the
first place to those whom they meet,
can not be generally disagreeable,
whatever they say or do. fla person
thinks of himself, thinks of what he
can say of himself, thinks of what
the other is likely to think of him,
thinks of the impression he will
make on the other, he is sure to stand
in his own light, when he meets an
other. But if he thinks first of the
other person, thinks of the others
good side, thinks of what he can say
that will crafty the other, or that
will help the other, and if he speaks
and acts accordingly, he is sure to be
a means of light and cheer to others.

IVORY FROM AFRICA.
American Enterprise Making Headway
In the Dark Continent.

SAyts
Two tons of ivory, shipped by the
Sanford exploring expedition from
its station at Kinshassa, on Stanley
Pool, reached Europe a few weeks
ago. 1t was American enterprise
the Neao York Herald-that ten years
ago revealed the course Of the Congo
to the world. To-day company Or
ganized and largely directed by
Americans is among the FIRST to dis
plsy in Europe products Of the Up.
per Congo which its own agents have
forwarded from their stations beyond
the cataract region in the far interior.
Five years ago Stanley bought the
first ivory purchased by a white man
on the Upper Congo. The property
which he obtained for a few hand:
kerchiefs cost him seven and 9 half
pence pound, and was worth in
London from eight to eleven shil.
lings pound. At that time tribes
were found along the river banks
that had not the slightest notion that
ivory possessed any commercial val
ue. Perhaps there are now no ma.
tives in the Congo basin who are so
wofllly behind the times, Though
ivory may still be bought for song
along the Kassai River.

under water and that families resid-

out and have lost all they had.
A large number of these families
have lost their entire crops reaped
during the past season. The river
has overhowed it's banks for miles
and looks like an ocean. The water
is still rising at Brownsville.
Edinburg and La Pueblo, situated
sixty miles above Brownsville, have
been washed from the face of the
earth, and at Santa Maria the water
is gradually making its way to de-
stroy that place.

no stop after leaving Baltimore until
it reached Harrisburg.
1t slowed down when passing
through York, Pa, where the Presi-

bowed to the multitude that lined the
roadway on both sides.
Harrisburg was reached, shortly
after 2 o'clock. Several thousand
people thronged the depot and cheer:
ed as the train slowly made it's way
through the mass of humanity which
could not be driven back by the po.
licemen. The Central Democratic
Club and its band marched to the
station and joined with the populace
in extending cordial welcome. The
train stopped about FIVE minutes.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
stood on the rear platform and bow
ed to the people.

ALTOONA, Pa, September 3d.
The Presidential party arrived here
at 6.23 on time. About twelve thou.

surroundings. AS the train pulled
into the station the band played an

drowned by the incessant cheering
of the assemblage.
The President and his wife made
their appearance on the rear plat

with deafening cheers. Mrs. Cleve.

centre of the car, where she viewed
